How to shift your weight properly to gain more power

Another reason why many amateur golfers lose power when driving the ball is from failing to move their hips and shifting their weight properly. It is also another cause of the slice because if we fail to shift our weight forward we can end up leaning back and slicing across the ball.

The lateral hip movement is crucial to gaining power when driving the ball so when we make contact with the ball our weight has shifted properly.In this simple drill, Ladies European Tour star Holly Aitchison uses an alignment stick to help her make the correct movement.
